130+ Brilliant Ideas For Corgi Names

Get ready for 130+ Corgi names that are cute, sweet and a little bit sassy – kind of like Corgis themselves!

The Welsh Corgi originated in Wales as a herding dog, and two separate breeds are recognized: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi.

For the sake of simplicity, we’ll use the word “Corgi” to represent both.

But before we dive into name ideas, we should point out what the heck is different between the two breeds. In a nutshell, the Pembroke’s tail is docked while the Cardigan’s is not. Another slight difference is their feet. The Pembroke has oval-like feet that point straightforward or slightly inward, whereas the Cardigan’s feet are round and curved outward.

As many will note, the Corgi is short on legs but big on personality. They are spirited, playful, protective and friendly – all great qualities in a breed.

If you’re lucky enough to welcome one of these wonderful pets into your home, check out these fun and unique Corgi names!

Corgi Names Inspired by Appearance

Without a doubt, the Corgi is one of the most unique dog breeds out there when it comes to appearance.

Their long torsos, short legs and large, pointy ears make for an adorable and distinct-looking dog, and this provides excellent inspiration for Corgi names.

Welsh & English Male Corgi Names

As we mentioned before, the Corgi originated in Wales where it was used to herd animals, cattle in particular. In fact, the Pembroke and the Cardigan are each named for the county in Wales where they got their start.

Today, however, many people associate the Corgi with England. Why is that? Two words: Queen Elizabeth. (Well, technically Queen Elizabeth II.) She has personally owned more than 30 Pembrokes or Corgi/Dachshund crosses.

With a strong tie to both these areas of the United Kingdom, Welsh and English names are a perfect fit for your new Corgi. Male names include:
